Chapter 183
As the second largest shareholder in Luther Group, Alistair swore that Luther Group would not
terminate Bailey unless she herself wanted to leave the company.
Dozens of shareholders who had net worths of tens of billions had to apologize to Bailey in front of
countless media. Without a doubt, their actions placed Bailey on a pedestal.
At the CEO's office in Luther Group, Artemis was lazily leaning on the couch. As he watched the press
conference, which was almost ending, his lips curled into a satisfied smile without him knowing it.
He had finally brought that woman to the greatest heights possible in Hallsbay—a spot where no one in
Hallsbay could ever reach.
Luther Group's shareholders had all shown up to apologize to her, and that was a grand scene only
Bailey deserved to have.
He wanted the whole world to know that he was capable of making the woman he loved a queen even
if she was never even a princess.
Right then, the door to his office opened, and Dwayne came in.
“Mr. Luther, LG Corporation's Mr. Gezmond was just on the call with me.”
Artemis switched off the television before asking, “What did he say?”
“Mr. Luther said that Emmy Boutique has sued Luther Group and that the plagiarism case has come to
a conclusion. LG Corporation has endorsed for Luther Group a plagiarized work, and it has severely
harmed their international reputation.”
“And?” Artemis stared at him and let out a mocking laugh. “Is he thinking of terminating the contract
with Luther Group? Does he want to terminate all further cooperation with Luther Group?”
Dwayne shook his head and quietly answered, “When he found out that Victoria was the one who
signed the finalized draft, he asked to have Luther Group fire Victoria.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArtemis froze as shock flashed past his eyes.
“Did he really say that? Did he really request Luther Group to fire Victoria?”
“Yes, that's what he said.”
Artemis sighed before a laugh escaped him. “It seems like no man, no matter how calm he is, can
escape the concept of love. It's been seven years... Forget it. Tell him this on behalf of me that Luther
Group has not done any thieving and that we will be proving our innocence with evidence in the near
future. I won't fire Victoria. He can terminate the cooperation with Luther Group if that is what he
wants.”
“Okay. About Emmy Boutique...”
Artemis waved dismissively. “Bailey knows her limits; she won't let this go on. She has already
accepted the bunch of old men's apologies, so it means she has an ace up her sleeve. You won't need
to worry about her.”
Dwayne rolled his eyes. How can I not be worried? No businessman risks his entire business just to
dote on a woman.
In a café in the city, Jessica was gripping Rhonda's arm and hissing, “My uncle, Mr. Walker, called me
during noon and said that Bailey's the boss of Emmy Boutique. Rhonda, what do I do now? If she
presents those two witnesses, and they reveal that I was the one who swapped the draft, I'll be going to
jail!”
Rhonda's head was slightly lowered as she muttered, “Jessica, there's no way you're going to get out
of this free. I've already consulted a lawyer about this, and she has told me that, at most, you'll be
imprisoned for three years. Why don't you... just admit it. I'll do everything I can to make sure that you'll
be out within a year.”
Jessica flung Rhonda's arm off before glaring at the latter. She gritted out, “Screw you, Rhonda. You
were so eager to use me as your weapon earlier, but now that something has happened, you're making
me take the blame alone? Do you really think I'll do that for you?”
Rhonda furrowed her brows and snarled, “Then what do you want? Jessica, the people at Emmy
Boutique have already gotten blackmail-worthy information about you. I won't be able to save you at all,
so calm down.”
“Ha!” Jessica slowly rose to her feet before looking downward at the other woman. With a sneer, she
growled, “If I tell Bailey that her eldest son never died and was actually stolen away by you, do you
think she'll thank me? Do you think she'll let me go on the account of my contribution to their reunion?”
Then, seemingly caught up in the heat of the moment, she ignored Rhonda's darkening expression as
she went on, “Yes, yes, yes. I have to tell Artemis about this right away. I'm going to tell him that the
one who gave birth to his son is Bailey, and she had actually given birth to triplets back then. He's so
concerned about her, so I'm sure that he'll be delighted to hear this. If he's happy, he might let me go.
I'm going to let the family of four reunite, so he's going to let me go!”
Rhonda clenched her fists that were resting on her lap as a cold glint flickered past her eyes.
When Jessica grabbed her bag from the table and sped out of the room, Rhonda made no move to
stop her. Instead, she picked up her phone and called Cadence.
“She has already gone out of the café. I'm counting on you. You have to deal with this for me.”
“Don't worry. I've studied medicine for many years, and I am more than capable of erasing a certain
period of memory from a person's brain. I swear I won't leave any traces behind.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
After Jessica exited the room, she headed straight for the elevator.
When she went around the corner, someone suddenly emerged from one of the rooms and covered
her nose and mouth before dragging her into the room.
“Mm!”
On the balcony of Shelbert Condominium, Bailey and Juliana were leaning against the railing and
snacking on nuts.
“Master, should I submit the two witnesses anonymously to Luther Group's legal department next so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat they can testify against Jessica swapping the drafts? That way, that woman will be in jail for a few
years.”
Bailey stiffened, her hand halfway reaching for another nut, and she knitted her brows.
It was not that she pitied Jessica, for Jessica had brought it upon herself. She had to be punished for
the misdeed she had done.
However, Jessica was Eve's student, and she could not just embarrass Eve like that.
“Master, you're hesitating. Don't tell me you're going easy on her. Some people simply can't be
pampered. The more you let her do as she pleases, the crazier she'll get, and that'll only hurt her in the
end.”
Bailey smiled and shook her head. Right. Letting her go will be hurting her in the end.
“Okay. We'll do as you say then.”
The next morning, the personnel of Luther Group's legal department found the two witnesses who had
helped Jessica swap the drafts in a rental house situated in the west suburbs.
Three days later, Artemis made an announcement to the public that read: Jessica was jealous and
unhappy that Bailey was the lead designer in the company. At the finalization of the drafts, she
swapped the original draft of Les Cinq Series, and that was how the entire case started. Luther Group
did not plagiarize Emmy Boutique's children's wear that was marketed two years ago. Hence, please
look at this case with a reasonable mind.
That afternoon, Emmy Boutique also announced: The court has already investigated the case and
proved that this incident was due to internal conflicts between Luther Group's employees. It has
nothing to do with Luther Group, so we've decided to withdraw our lawsuit.
At Shelbert Condominium, Bailey was leaning against the doorframe and looking at Jessica, who was
kneeling outside. “You've destroyed Luther Group's reputation, and Luther Group's the one after you. I
won't be able to help you, so you should leave.”
However, Jessica grabbed the hem of Bailey's shirt and pleaded, “Master Bailey, please! Please, for
the sake of your senior, Eve, save me! I can't go to jail. My whole life will be ruined!”
